$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}

% (a,b)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{5-0}{3-0}$

15. Construct the slope-intercept form equation of the line passing through (-5,23) and (10,-5).

Radda [10]

Answer:

15<em>y</em> = -28 <em>x</em> + 205.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is <em>y = mx + c</em> where m is slope and c is the y intercept.

Now slope of line passing through points (-5, 23) and (10, -5):

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{-5 -23}{10 + 5} = \frac{-28}{15}$

Now equation of line:

<em> y = mx + c</em>

substituting the value of m in above expression,

$y = -\frac{28}{15} x + c$

Now, since the line is passing through the point (-5, 23) therefore, x = -5 and y = 23. By substituting these values in above equation,

$23 = -\frac{28}{15} \times (-5) + c$

$23 = \frac{28}{3} + c$

$c = 23 - \frac{28}{3} = \frac{69 - 28}{3} = \frac{41}{3}$

So equation of line in slope intercept form:

$y = -\frac{28}{15} x + \frac{41}{3}$

Further solving,

15<em>y</em> = -28 <em>x</em> + 205.
